The people were wonderful, accommodating, and just plain nice. I would recommend some kind of anti slip item for the shower as it is very smooth and slick. Otherwise, everything was excellent.

Very old hotel/inn .. limited conveniences. Areas that were neglected, including the driveway and the lower level. The air conditioning unit in the window had mold in it. The bathroom had a faucet from the 1970s and an acrylic tub enclosure. I expected more.

A real historic gem
Incredible B&B built in 1719. Staff was amazing, breakfast delicious, the huge yard and firepit perfect, and the room spacious. What a gem!
